      He may be popular to some of them, but he’s also turned the party into a cult of personality that has abandoned most of what it used to claim to believe in.

      When he dies (or loses his ability to attract a crowd), the party will be a husk of its former self. They’ll have abandoned their principles which attracted fiscal conservatives in the past, and won’t have their cult leader to rally around.
